Blue-Footed Boobies Mother and Chick

The Blue-Footed Booby is a unique seabird.  It has a mating dance that looks comical.  It has blue feet.  It lives mostly in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.  It also dives at high speed to get to fish.  It can swim underwater as well.  We have seen them diving and it is remarkable!  They are 33 inches or 81 cm long.  They weigh around 3.25 lbs or 1.5 kg of mass.  Chicks are white and fuzzy.  There are usually three eggs in a clutch and often all three chicks survive unless there are predators like Short-Eared Owls. 

This drawing also has other seabirds in the distance including the fork-tailed frigate bird.
